The pond was only fished one day last week. I invited my co-workers and families out for a BBQ/pot luck and fish fry. 9 or 10 tried their hand at fishing; some for the first time. (How do people in their 30�s and 40�s get through life and never been fishing before?) A couple of them caught their fist fish every. Biggest fish (12�/10oz / wr .694) was caught since I started removing bass six weeks ago. Fun times for all.

Baby Bluegill are starting to populate the shallows. I dug out my casting net and caught three once I relearned how to use it. I used them as live bait and hooked two snappy turtles and an 11.5� bass (WR .781). The bass looked deformed with a big head and small body. Wish I took a picture before cleaning it.
